The denomination 'eine Mark' appears in large red Gothic letters split across the left and right margins, with the issuing legend in calligraphic script along the lower border; the printer's imprint 'Druck v. Wilh. Veit.' appears at lower left and the designer's signature 'J. Mezger' at lower right. |
